This is where you come in.
I have taken the phrase 'reversed thunder' from the book by Eugene Peterson of the same name. It is a great book, which unpacks the message of the book of Revelation, and in doing so explores the theme of prayer, which has been called (by a guy named ) 'reversed thunder.' You see, when we pray (well at least if we pray as we should) we speak back God's truths to Him: we claim His promises, promises that He has graciously spoken to us in His voice, which thunders from heaven. Therefore prayer has immense power: not because of the one praying but because of the one who gave us the words to pray. It is not simply 'God bothering' as one of my friends likes to say. No, it is reversed thunder.
And I need lots of reversed thunder!
Without prayer there can be no missions. Without prayer you cannot plant churches. I don't mean simply that it will be harder to do, I mean it is impossible. The Church is the body of Christ and He is the one who builds it. So if we work without prayer we are not building the church, rather we will build miniature versions of ourselves. And no one wants a bunch of mini-levis roaming round Japan!
If you've read my vision then hopefully you've seen that it's quite a bit bigger than me. Which is one of the things that assures me this is from God. It frankly terrifies me! Except that as well as seeing the vision I have also seen the greatness of God. He who did not spare His own Son, He will surely provide all I need for this task. And prayer is the means God has ordained for that to happen.
If you would like to sign up to support me as an official OMF prayer partner and receive updates via e-mail then you can do so by filling in your details, and my name (Levi Booth) here:
If you fill in the postal details then you'll also be able to receive literature like OMF's Billions magazine, which has stories, articles and such from the work of OMF missionaries across East Asia.
And of course if you want to talk to me more about other ways to partner with me, or want more information about praying for me/Japan then please do not in any way hesitate to contact me.

Monthly Min | Max temperature
Sandhammaren beach is part of a very long and wide stretch of pale fine sand that constitutes the second longest continuous playa in Skåne. It is often promoted as one of the most beautiful beaches in Sweden. High grassy sand dunes line the beach and further inland pinetrees that were planted with the purpose to reduce sandstorms. Due to erosion of coastal areas in the west the dunes are continuously growing. The scenery is natural towards both north and south. The beach is facing open sea and waters are commonly cold. There is frequently some presence of seaweed. Note that strong currents prevail in the water, especially when wind direction is towards land. This part of the coastline gets dumping waves from passing ships. Always walk out in the water and swim the way back. Although the water is shallow beaches on the western or northeastern part of Skånes coast are more suitable for children.
✓ The waters of Sandhammaren beach are the most abundant in the number of shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea - it is said there are thousands of them. This is why the beach is called "the sand hammer". Some were plundered by pirates after getting stuck on the low ridges of sand that border the shore.
✓ The beach is situated in a nature reserve that goes by the same name. The sandfields and dunes are rich in rare species of herbs and there is an abundance in butterflies and migrating birds.
✓ Visit the old lighthouse on the beach or enjoy the natural reserve with Sweden's most southerly population of elks.

Validity of Five Satellite-Based Latent Heat Flux Algorithms for Semi-arid Ecosystems
Accurate estimation of latent heat flux (LE) is critical in characterizing semiarid ecosystems. Many LE algorithms have been developed during the past few decades. However, the algorithms have not been directly compared, particularly over global semiarid ecosystems. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of five LE models over semiarid ecosystems such as grassland, shrub, and savanna using the Fluxnet dataset of 68 eddy covariance (EC) sites during the period 2000–2009. We also used a modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications (MERRA) dataset, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Fractional Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) products; the leaf area index (LAI) from the global land surface satellite (GLASS) products; and the digital elevation model (DEM) from shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM30) dataset to generate LE at region scale during the period 2003–2006. The models were the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer LE (MOD16) algorithm, revised remote sensing based Penman–Monteith LE algorithm (RRS), the Priestley–Taylor LE algorithm of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (PT-JPL), the modified satellite-based Priestley–Taylor LE algorithm (MS-PT), and the semi-empirical Penman LE algorithm (UMD). Direct comparison with ground measured LE showed the PT-JPL and MS-PT algorithms had relative high performance overmore »

Wedding Ceremony
The Wedding day is usually chosen well in advance by the groom and the bride's parents (in the old time, it is not necessarily Saturday or Sunday, as well as they believe it is good based on the groom and the bride's age).
Depending on habits of specific ethnic groups, marriage includes various steps and related procedures, but generally there are two main ceremonies:Le an hoi (betrothal ceremony): Some time before the wedding, the groom and his family visit the bride and her family with round lacquered boxes known as betrothal presents composed of gifts of areca nuts and betel leaves, tea, cake, fruits, wines and other delicacies covered with red cloth and carried by unmarried girls or boys. Both families agree to pick a good day for wedding.Le cuoi (wedding ceremony): Guests would be invited to come to join a party and celebrate the couple's happiness. The couple should pray before the altar asking their ancestors for permission for their marriage, then to express their gratitude to both groom's and bride's parents for raising and protecting them. Guests will share their joy at a party later.On the wedding day, the groom's family and relatives go to the bride's house bringing a lot of gifts wrapped in red papers. These gifts are similar to those of the engagement: betel leaves and areca nuts, wines, fruits, cakes, tea ... Those who hold these trays are also carefully chosen, usually they are happily married couples. Ladies and women are all dressed in Ao Dai. Men could be in their suits or men traditional Ao Dai. The troop are usually led by a couple that is most wealthy and successful among the relatives, this means to wish the to-be-wed couples a blessing life together in the future.The groom's family would stop in the font of the bride's house. The leading couple should enter the house first bringing a tray with wine and tiny cups on it. They would invite the bride's parents to take a sip. By accepting the toast, the bride's family agree for the groom family to enter their house. The firework is immediately fired to greet the groom's family.The groom's family would introduce themselves and ask permission for their son to marry his bride. The Master of the Ceremony (usually a respected person among the bride's relatives) instructs the bride's parents to present their daughter. The bride then follows her parents out. She is in Vietnamese traditional wedding Ao Dai which is usually in red. Followed are her bride maids. The wedding ceremony starts in front of the altar. The bride and the groom would kneel down and pray, asking their ancestors' permission to be married, also asking for blessing on their family-to-be. The couple then turn around and bow down to the bride's parents to say thank for raising and protecting her since birth. They then bow their head to each other, which means to show their gratitude and respect toward their soon-to-be husband or wife. The Master of the Ceremony would gave the wedding couple advices on starting a new family. The groom and the bride's parents would take turn to share their experience and give blessing. The groom and the bride then exchange their wedding rings. The parents will give the newly wedded value gifts such as golden bracelets, ear rings, necklace... The ceremony is ended with a round applause.Today, a lot of Vietnamese couples have their wedding ceremony done in Temples or Churches which is very much similar to American and Western style, including exchanging vows and wedding rings. However, they still maintain Vietnamese traditional ceremony in the bride's home before heading to temples or churches.A wedding banquet is scheduled in the evening at a hotel or a big restaurant. It is always a delight feast that all relatives, friends, and neighbors are invited. A music band is usually hired to play live songs.At the banquet, the groom, bride, and their family are once again introduced to the guests and everyone will drink a toast. Dinner will be served at the tables.During the reception, the groom, bride, and their parents will stop by each table to say thank to their guests. The guest in return, will give envelopes containing wedding cards and money gifts to the newly wedded couples along with their blessing. A lot of weddings nowadays are followed by a dancing party, which is opened by the groom and the bride's first dance. The party does not recess until very late at night. The newly wedded couples then leave for their honey moon.

Underwater Photos
Currently, Art Haseltine's underwater photographs are made with a digital, Sony Alpha 6500 mirrorless camera. The camera is held in a Nauticam NA-A6500 underwater housing. Illumination is provided by dual Inon Z-240 underwater strobes. Digital images are captured in RGB color, and converted to b&w with Adobe Photoshop. Prints are made on an Epson SureColor P-800 inkjet printer using Ultrachrome K3 (pigment) inks.
In years past Art has used a variety of film cameras and underwater housings. These have included medium-format (Pentax, Rollei, Hasselblad, and Mamiya) and 35mm (Nikon SLR and Nikonos) cameras. His b&w film of choice has been Ilford Delta 100. Before digital, Art made silver-gelatin prints, processed to archival standards, in his own photographic darkroom.
Both types of prints, silver and digital, are available to a maximum size of 17x22 inches, and mounted on 22x28-inch rag board. Currently, digital printing papers of choice are Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk and Canson Baryta Photographique. Even in this digital age, Art creates b&w images that are true to the "west coast tradition" of fine-art photography.
(Winter 2017-2018)
Terrestrial Photos
Art makes b&w portraits of terrestrial critters. His images emphasize detail, tonality, contrast, and composition.

This does seem a bit cozy.
Within months of Obama's swearing in, his wife got a huge raise in the department of her hospital that presumably lobbies for government grants. The next year, Obama apparently requested $9 million in pork for the hospital. Hmmm.
Here's the timeline:
2004: Michelle Obama's pay at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she was executive director for community affairs, was reportedly $121,910.
2005: [January] Michelle Obama's husband Barack becomes a United States Senator.
2005: [May] Mrs. Obama is promoted to vice president for community and external affairs at the hospital, and her pay reportedly jumps to $316,962 (260% of her 2004 salary).
2006: Senator Obama requests $9 million in earmarks for the institution, according to a list of earmark requests released by the Obama campaign:
- "In 2006, Obama requested $8 million for Human Genome Expression at the University of Chicago."
- "In 2006, Obama requested that the University of Chicago receive $1 million to support its Construction of New Hospital Pavilion."
Obama's family has other connections to the institution as well:
- "Top campaign adviser and friend Valerie Jarrett is the Chair of the University of Chicago Medical Center Board and also Chair of the Executive Committee of that board. She has also been named Vice-Chair of the University's Board of Trustees. "
- "Obama taught at the U. of Chicago law school and the Obama's two daughters attend school there."

|Local Organics - Seasonal Local Produce
Local organic food into schools
Here at Local Organics we a passionate about providing nutritional, affordable & sustainable food systems.
* We work directly with farmers.
* We promote: food skills, farm visits, workshops and fun.
* We are making an easier to use website.
It's summertime! A fantastic time to start learning about seasonal foods. Our farmers' fields are filled with amazing produce & we feel responsible for finding good homes for their veggies. We have come up with a plan and we hope you like it!
Schools into farms
Our farmers want to meet the folks who enjoy their food. It completes the circle in this local food system. We can organise a farm visit for your school or you can invite a farmer to visit you.
In a nutshell
Your school can access local organic food...
Learn to share our love of fruit and vegetables that look and taste how they used to.
...and join with a social enterprise.
We are starting an the exciting journey to make an alternative food system, where economic, environmental and social sustainability are equally important.
All you need is a:
How it works
Let your parents and community know (we can help you with information)!
Remembering to order by 10am Wed
Join our mailing list and receive our newsletter each Tuesday. This acts as a good reminder and also has information about farms and produce, updates and recipe tips.
Orders are made and paid directly to us via our website. When ordering parents will select the name of their child's school as their collection point.
We will deliver the boxes and any other extras ordered to you at a arranged time on Thursday.
Swap box
We will include a box with extra veggies in it that people can use to swap out unwanted veggies.
Parents and community collect at your nominated collection time (e.g. at the end of the school day). Names are ticked off the printed list as they collect.
Closing up
Your co-ordinator tidies up any unstacked returned boxes, puts away the esky, calls about any uncollected boxes, and provide feedback to us about any hiccups and takes the swap box home.
We recognise that it takes time to help people collect boxes and tidy up the inevitable lose ends. This is work we don't have to do but it is factored into the cost of the box. This means we can provide your school with a 10% payment, once your school reaches the 15 box goal. We would like to trial this payment at 10% (for example $3.50 for a $35 box).
Other things we can provide
· Help with marketing materials, information and
· Access to local organic farms and farmers for
organised day visits or Skype talks.
· Information about alternative food systems and
development of food skills.
· Work with teachers to develop interactive food

The fine print
Local Organics have been operating for three years and we are now looking to engage kindergartens, child care centres and schools that are interested in sharing our passion for sustainable ethical food and learning where it comes from.
Along with better access to affordable, locally grown, fresh, organic produce, we offer access to farms, information and food skills.
Who we are:
It has taken some time to work that out! Local Organics started in 2010 as a co-op run by us, Marcus and Angie, long-time Brunswick residents and partners. Since then we have developed into a social enterprise with a triple bottom line.
We have been working hard the last three years learning, developing and implementing ideas to create an alternative food system and building relationships with the farmers who grow our food. We have been busy, as during this time we have also been providing around 80 local families with fresh, in-season organic mixed fruit and vegetable boxes each week.
We have remained focused on keeping operating costs to a minimum so that we can provide a genuinely affordable alternative for people living in the city who want quality organic fruit and vegetables. We do this by:
· working direct with farmers, and
· using 2nd class produce (too large or small,
marked… but still tasty) which would otherwise
end up as waste.
· using a pre-ordering system to further minimizes
We are now at a very exciting point in our development and invite you to consider joining us on our journey.
What we are looking for:
· Schools and kindergartens that are interested in
joining our pilot program by facilitating a collection
point for parents and community members in their
· Feedback and discussion from you as the initiative
develops, with the aim of creating a stable and
rewarding long-term relationship.
How it will work from your end:
You will need to provide a secure, accessible, and shaded area for families to collect their orders on Thursdays. This could be outside on a veranda or inside a hall or administration room.
We have found that collections run more smoothly if you have a coordinator or volunteer that is able to help people collect their boxes and deal with any problems that may arise. At a minimum there will need to be someone who checks for any uncollected boxes at the end of your collection time frame. All that is required is a phone call to rearrange a new collection time.
We are always just a phone call away for any problems or a missed box!
We would also require a small, out-of-the way space for the storage of returned boxes and an esky. The empty boxes will then be collected at the next drop-off.
How it works from our end:
Parents and community members can join our mailing list and receive our newsletter each Tuesday, which acts as a prompt to order by 10am Wednesdays and has information, updates, recipes and news about the farmers and produce.
Orders can be made and paid directly to us via our online store, and name of their child's school or kindergarten can be selected as the collection point.
We will deliver the boxes and any other extras ordered to you at an allocated time on Thursday, to be collected by customers at your nominated collection time (e.g. at the end of the school day).
Our pricing system:
One driving force behind local organics becoming a business was that true sustainability must also be financially sustainable, ie. that we can pay ourselves for the time and costs involved in this enterprise.
With the knowledge gained over the past three years, we are very focused on creating a workable and stable system. To help achieve this, we will provide you with a 10% payment, once your school reaches the 15 box goal (for example your school or co-ordinator receives $3.5 for a $35 box). You might consider setting your own additional handling fee per box or giving your school families a 10% discount. This is completely up to your school. We can charge this via the website and return the money to you.
We will direct deposit the fees monthly into your account and include documentation. What you do with this money is up to you! You could use it to purchase tea and coffee at the collection point to foster community, or use it to help fund other projects in your school.

5 miles in London = Single speed pushbike.....
Thinking of getting back on a second-hand scooter for my daily ( 5 mile commute).
Have had Honda's SH 125 in the past and really like it.
But am also considering Yamaha's XMAX 250: what are they like?
5 miles in London = Single speed pushbike.....
I had a Burgman 250 for a couple of years, absolutely loved it!!
Sent from my P00C using Tapatalk
Piaggio 3 wheeler.
Yamaha S10
Bought myself a new Honda pcx 125 a few years ago for the same reason, commuting into Salford and back.. Never thought I'd buy a scooter but absolutely loved it! 125mpg and just about quick enough for the motorway.. Cheaper than walking and stopped putting shitty miles on my proper bike!
Thanks for all the input.
Waiting to test the new xmax 300
Love my SH125i , absolute convert to scooters for city riding. Quite fancy a SH300i, but given my commute is 30 and 40 limits and < 5 miles, its not really necessary. Also the bigger you go, the more weight.
Quite fancy a go on a TMAX 530 DX though.

"Quite truly one of the funniest, most ridiculously delicious humans I've ever encountered AND she is the hardest working clown in show business!"
– Merv Griffin, Entertainer, Game Show Creator & Entertainment Mogul
"Terrifyingly bright and verbal. Moore is a thoroughly post-modern mix of weird characters, funny voices, bizarre situations, a quirky theatrical synthesis of her idols, influences, and inspirations. Imagine Fanny Brice meets: Daffy Duck, Lucille Ball, Lily Tomlin, Laurie Anderson, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Carol Burnett, David Bowie, Lewis Carroll..."
– The Philadelphia Inquirer
"I have seen many of Sara Moore's solo performances, often going well out of my way to do so. It's worth it. She is fearless and utterly engaging in performance, combining physical dexterity, blazing intelligence, vocal acrobatics and mind-boggling juxtapositions to create comedic alchemy. Her pieces have the irresistible combination of being both utterly unique and completely recognizable. She is unquestionably on a par with all the great clowns; I believe it is only a matter of a very short time before a great many people know this. "
- Michael Butler, Artistic Director of Center Rep at The Lesher center For The Arts
"Sara Moore is simply the greatest thing to have happened to me. She taught a clowning master class when I was 19 years old, and within those three hours she had given me the key to unlock the door to The Silly inside, and helped me train it and use it to the fullest. She has the wild passion and intense drive of a mad fisherman chasing a whale. She laughs from within the depths of her soul when you do something right, and she willingly and lovingly hands you wings when you are afraid to fly. Her truthful love for all things silly is inspiring, and her reckless abandon for creative expression is nothing short of threateningly astounding."
– Molly Kate Taylor, ClownCon 2017 Graduate
"Moore is the consummate performer, never lingering too long on tragedy or comedy to bore us, always entertaining us—even when we are crying. Comic Kung Fu is a pretty good analogy."
– NYTheatre

NYCC: Make Mine Marvel Panel
Welcome to day 2 of CBR's live reporting from the New York Comic Con. We now join Saturday's Make Mine Marvel panel. The panel is moderated by editor Nick Lowe, with novelist Jonathan Lethem ("Fortress of Solitude," Marvel's "Omega the Unknown") as the first guest. Dwayne Swierczynski ("Cable") followed, with Bryan Hitch after. Orson Scott Card has just taken the stage.
Lethem began by saying that he had always intended "Omega the Unknown" to run monthly, although the original series was bimonthly.
"'Omega' came out right around the time I realized Marvel was launching new superheroes," Lethem said, after explaining that readers come to understand comics gradually. "THis one had a character who was a kid who went to public school in a tough neighborhood," he said, adding that he identified with the Omega characters to a strong degree.
Lethem noted that "Omega" set up long-running mysteries, which were unusual for the time. "Today it's normal."
"That it was unresolved [issue to issue] kept haunting me," Lethem said. "It forced my imagination to fill in the blanks."
"With 'Omega,' when I had the chance to do this comic, what can I do leaping in cold, that will be new, and justify the hoopla of someone like me jumping over into comics," Lethem said, noting that he's a novice comics writers. He said there's a perception that novelists doing comics will be "huge" or dark. His goal with 'Omega' was to "slow it down, explore the places in betweeen." He described the book as a "pensive comic… where the characters aren't doing a lot, so you can just be with the characters."
Lethem said that, when looking for an artist for "Omega," he found a lot of artists he like but that these were all in some way making the super-heroes bigger. He wanted "Omega" to be down to earth, somewhat "homely." Farel Dalrymple was chosen for his work on "Pop Gun War," and his talent with cityscapes.
Lowe asked Lethem about his obsession with Bob Dylan, and when his cover album would come out. "I'd have to get someone else to sing the covers," Lethem joked, saying he had no talent for music.
Following Lethem, Dwayne Swierczynski came on stage to talk about "Cable" and "Immortal Iron Fist."
Lowe spoke with Swierczynski about his crime novels, asking "Did you ever steal anything?"
"I was raised as a good Catholic boy," Swierczynski said. "I was too afraid to steal. Plus, the pope's here."
"He's our special guest!" Lowe joked.
Swierczynski said the "Cable" series was offered to him when Alonso said, "How do you feel about a series featuring a giant mutant and baby?" "What do you mean, Mr. ALonso sir?" Swierczynski said he replied.
They then discussed the "armor-plated bjorn," with Swierczynski quipping that it was a popular accessory in Philadelphia.
Getting into Cable's complicated history, Swierczynski said that Cable is "basically a messiah figure, protecting a messiah baby."
"As the series goes on, the daughter will grow, and as a tempermental four year old, you know, she'll say "Dad you're an idiot. But if you call Cable an idiot, usually he'll shoot you."
He compared following Matt Fraction on "Iron Fist" to following Bob Dylan with his guitar, but hoped fans would like it. Swierczynski indicated that Fraction recommended him for the book.
"You've written an entire book about beer," Lowe said, to which the audience applauded. "How did I not know this?"
"I've also written a book about cocktails," Swierczynski said. "But what do you drink when you're on a panel with Nick Lowe? Grain alcohol." He said that while he was doing "research" for the books, his wife was pregnant and couldn't drink at all.
Swierczynski talked about his time at a men's health magazine and Philadelphia's City Paper. Philly also got applause.
"Another book was about office espionage… have you ever done any of the things in that books?" Swierczynski joked that his co-author was the mastermind, who "wore a mask."
Issue #6 of "Cable" will "touch back with the present." "The story plays out in the future, but it's also tied in heavily with the X-Men in the present." Issue #6 will check in with Cyclops's perception of Cable's recent actions.
"Matt Fraction, whose last issue [of 'Iron Fist'] is #16, has set up something really cool that I can't reveal," that looks at the hero in a new way.
Bryan Hitch represented the first artist to come on stage, and he and Lowe bantered about water cups on stage.
"Authority" was "definitely where the career began," Hitch said. "It was the first series that I could really be me," he said, and that this was part of Warren Ellis's intent.
"The 'Ultimates', we knew the story from the very start," Hitch said, and it was "set up within an hour of talking to each other." He said Mark Millar had intended the book to run two years.
"Fantastic Four is more of a rolling thing, which allows me to be a bit more productive," Hitch said.
Lowe asked Hitch about a scene in "Ultimates" involving Iron Man pushing a kid into a ditch. He said that was his addition.
"You kind of imagine how you want it to feel when you read it," Hitch said, referring to his new border and color techniques in "FF."
Hitch insisted that he really did hurt his back lifting a piano, which led to delays. And flooding in northern England led to further "Ultimates" delays.
Regarding "Fantastic Four:" "Everything's there for a reason," including the giant Cap robot. He also said that Millar's "Wolverine" run will tie in to what's going on now in "FF."
Orson Scott Card, author of "Enders Game" and "Ultimate Iron Man," said that dinner last night included one to many dishes. "They kept offering me food, and I don't know how to say no," he said.
"I quit my dayjob on January 1st 1978," he said, and he's been a freelancer ever since, with one exception.
"I'm not a guy who takes orders well," Card said.
"The truth is I write really really fast," he said, which is why he has been able to write in so many different media.
"The thinking time is the important thing," Card said, "and between thinking time, time is spent playing the nuisance games on the computer." He cited Tetris and Civilization II as major influences.
Card discussed a character in a book he's writing for Del Rey, whose origins he is now fleshing out. It involves a boy who is buried under a tree, who is eventually absorbed into the tree to emerge 1500 years later.
"Me writing comics was entirely your doing," Card said to Lowe. He mentioned that a lot of editors approach him for projects but do not follow through. Card said he himself did not have much follow through either, but Lowe kept on him.
"As a playwright, I realized that what you see in comics are plays with really, really expensive sets."
When approached about Iron Man, Card said that, not reading a lot of comics himself, he thought Iron Man sounded like "the stupidest character that I've ever seen." But Lowe told him about the Ultimates concept, so Card thought about why Tony Stark would wear the armor himself. "Once I found that, I liked the story, and once I liked it I could write the story."
Card said the sample script Lowe sent him was "apparently by an eccentric weirdo, since now my scripts don't look like anybody else's." He uses minimal description, and thought about the differences between a writer's role in comics, theatre, and film.
"Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow" will be published by Marvel, illustrated by Pascual Ferry. Chris Yost is scripting, with Jake Black as story consultant.. Each will be six issues. "Marvel does terrific work," Card said, and that when a movie eventually comes out it will be based on Marvel's vision.
Addressing the history of Ender's Game as a short story and novel, Card said the novel "exists only to set up 'Speaker for the Dead,' the Nebula Award winner nobody reads."

The physics makes sense, if you refuse the gift of hatred then it is returned to the sender. But I have never had a practical method for appling, until White Buffalo Calf Woman told me.
Say your in a traffic situation where someone is in road rage and intent on beaming their hatred toward you. Just reply back " You must be very angry inside". This is brilliant! It does not confront the person, it means you have listened to the person, and that you acknowledge his inner state.
This shows that intellectual learning is not the end of all ends and there are other ways to knowledge just as valid (or perhaps better). Trust your heart!
